MonkeDAO launches probe amid allegations over treasury discrepancies

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in financial markets and blockchain technology, I find myself following the MonkeDAO saga with a mix of intrigue and concern. The cryptocurrency world is still largely uncharted territory, and while it offers immense opportunities for innovation and growth, it also presents unique challenges that traditional finance has yet to encounter.


In response to accusations about inconsistencies in the management of their funds, the group responsible for the Monkey Business Gen2 NFT collection on the Solana platform (MonkeDAO) has initiated an investigation from within their organization.

In response to accusations about inconsistencies in their treasury funds, MonkeDAO – the community managing the Solana-based NFT collection known as Monkey Business Gen2 – has initiated an internal investigation. Ariel Givner, serving as the DAO’s interim general counsel, made this announcement on August 7 through a formal statement, addressing the concerns that have arisen.

As Acting General Counsel for MonkeDAO, we’ve become cognizant of the recent accusations concerning the MonkeDAO Validator income and the inconsistency in the resources designated to the treasury. We treat such allegations with utmost gravity and are actively investigating the matter at present.

As an analyst, I initiated an investigation following queries raised by user @hankobaggins. The crux of their concern revolved around the unexplained absence of approximately 586 SOL, which represented nearly half of the MonkeDAO validator earnings since December 2023, from the treasury. This discrepancy has generated unease within our community about the handling of our funds.

“We prioritize openness and responsibility throughout our business activities. We strive to give clear explanations and work diligently to address any problems or mishaps that might arise.”

In her remarks, Givner underlined that MonkeDAO treats such allegations with utmost importance. She further stated that the DAO prioritizes transparency and accountability, promising a swift resolution to this matter. They also pledged to offer a comprehensive breakdown of any financial discrepancies they might encounter in the process.

Introduced in 2021, MonkeDAO serves as a collective of cryptocurrency investors supporting the advancement of Solana Monkey Business, one of Solana’s early NFT (Non-Fungible Token) collections. Despite a recent setback, owners of Solana Monkey Business NFTs show resilience, with the minimum price for an NFT increasing by 4% to 21.61 SOL, as reported by CoinGecko.
